READ HERE: Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has praised billionaire Elon Musk for refusing to allow Ukraine to use his Starlink satellite communications network for attacks on a Russian naval base in Crimea.

The statement came after CNN published excerpts from biographer Walter Isaacson’s book about Musk, where he detailed the rationale behind the businessman’s decision.

“If what Isaacson has written in his book is true, then it looks like Musk is the last adequate mind in North America,” Medvedev, who is currently deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, wrote on his English-language account on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.
